Sometimes authors try their hand at making their own trailers and in all honesty they didn’t do their book sales any favors. Readers love good trailers, but this is an area of promotions that we’d actually suggest against doing things on your own unless you have the specific skill set. If you happen to have the right software, understand that images must be paid for (for legal reasons), understand the attention span of your readership and how to share information about your book in short order, maybe you have the skill set.

We invite you to look at a few of our trailers. Notice that they are SHORT. There is a reason for that. They are also affordable. We know your budget might be a little strained, but we want you to have something that can be used to push interest in your book. Trailers work well in that capacity if they are loaded to B&N’s beautiful book trailer area, in your Amazon Author Page, on Smashwords for e-books and in your social media, your YouTube channel and on your website. Having a trailer and using it are two different things. Having one means nothing if you don’t use it wisely and often.

There is a lot of data about how trailers affect book sales. We invite you to search online, look at trailers in B&N’s book trailer area and then contact us. We listen to your needs and will work to get you the trailer you want without stress and high cost.

Why don't I see pricing on this site? It's a question we get from time to time, but most authors understand that we don't have a one-size-fits-all pricing structure because every book is different. There is no way we could accurately or adequately quote a ghostwriting project, for example, or book design cost when we don't have all the details. There is a big difference, after all, of a 300-page business book and a 150-page memoir. There is a cost difference in the size of the book and whether it is just going to be released as an e-book or also in print format. Do you need us to shepherd your book through the publishing process through Ingram? Do you need editing, and if so how much? Do you need a book coach, and if so how many hours a week does that mean? These are not rubber-stamp costs on our side. There are too many variables. We will keep your costs down, and we offer financing through the PayPal credit program. If you qualify, great! You can have it all.

As for fixed costs, okay, we have a couple. We charge a flat $350 per 45-second trailer for your book. We call these BLINKS. (Like BLING but for your book!) We can create a simple three-page website for you for just $350. That includes lots of links and a gateway to PayPal if you fulfill your own book orders. And for an e-book cover we charge a flat $40.

Congrats Smashwords!

"Indie authorship isn't a noun. It's an attitude. A mindset. It's about believing in yourself. It's a movement. It's a movement that believes every writer has a right to publish." Very well said Smashwords, we at FCM couldn't agree more!
